Cheers Basil. I've never known fish to actively seek food as much as Tigers. It's as if they are starving every time to you go near the tank. What's more impressive is there sheer appetite. Mine are still small too, picked them up as juveniles less than a month ago. Growing quick mind. Out of...

Just had a quick look on Amazon. Only ones we had seen were in LFS and were £30 quid a pop ($38) at their cheapest. My sister hasn't gone away like I anticipated so she will come and feed them on the Tues/Weds. May bite the bullet and ask my old man if he'll feed every other day for us. I was...

It's a one off to be honest. At most 3 times a year. It's why I won't go automatic feeder, can't justify the expense. Will have a look at feeding blocks. Thanks.

How often do people feed their tiger barbs? Straightforward one I know. Only I've struggled to find any thing more definitive than twice a day. I've already cut it too once a day but interested to know what people do.

Now I dare say this is a questioned asked regularly but I'm going to ask again purely in case of stock effecting it. I go away on Sunday morning, will be back Friday evening more than likely. Have gone away Mon-FrI before and my 90L community was fine. So they're not a concern. However my new...

It's like reading the Harry Potter books and then watching the films... They just make up what they want and throw it all over the shop.

Percy Montgomery (South African International Rugby Player) once mouthed a choice expletive at me, even took his gum shield out. He was playing at the time, on the pitch. I was about 14. Back when social media didn't exist obvs. Was more recently told by Neville Southall (Ex International...

I've got a 4K TV. Granted it's one of the first generations (was a splitting up with my ex present for myself). What I've also found is that you generally will notice a big difference when switching channels let alone anything that's poor in quality, this GOT was definitely poor in quality from...

It potentially could have stagnated if there was effectively no water passing through the sponges. But I have read about dormant BB so will wind my neck in and let the experienced heads tell you.

Cheers guys. I had a bit of a disaster, total external newbie and it showed... surprised I didn't drown to be honest... Shut the pipes off, then unclipped the lid and pulled it off, thought the water was never going to stop! (Wet lesson learned). Anyway, I managed to move all the media into the...

So I've been running two filters since Friday. An APS EF1200 And my newly bought Aquamanta 300EFX In my stupidity I read something about running the filters together for 72 hours before removing the old filter. Luckily I thought it didnt quite add up so researched some more. Clearly my...

Purchased the new filter today. Plumped for an Aquamanta EFX300 which is what the father in law runs so I have someone on call should anything happen. Plus it came with a 4 year warranty which is a bonus. Running alongside the APS1200 for now, will remove said APS on Monday evening. Also...

I've read contradicting information on YoYo loach tank size. Out of interest what is the general consensus on here for minimum tank size and recommended numbers? I've read people suggesting 40 gallon is big enough, others saying 75 gallon minimum. Then read 6 is an ideal minimum, 5 at a push...

Absolutely love it

Will add 2 similar plants to the one in the middle. Hopefully hide the heater as much as possible. All in due time. I had planned on getting the scaping of it right before adding fish but we all know that's a pipe dream lol

Thanks. Will see. Will also be salary pending. Decisions decisions. Perks of kids aye!

I've been in retail for 12 years and done nigh on the lot. Potentially switching careers soon though, second interview tomorrow.

This is how it is now. Some of these ornaments will come out and go into retirement. Ideally as I want a nice piece of bogwood in there for a plec and would quite like a fair sized piece. Relatively priced in the LFS.

So I posted this a week ago in the wrong section... here it goes again: So. I recently purchased a late birthday present to myself. A 2nd hand Roma 200. Sands gone in and I'm cycling with an APS 1200IF. Plan is too then add an Aquamanta 200 and remove said APS. Trying to speed the cycle up by...

Meant to post this in the aquarium build section, not aquascape section. Zero green fingers here
